Two Eyes That Saw the World

[Intro, Harmonica Lament] (Soft harmonica weeps, slow fingerpicked guitar) [Verse 1, Slow Acoustic Groove] Fifty years with your two-eyed friend One to frame the moment, one to pretend You held her gentle, like a sacred prayer In every face, you saw somethin' rare [Chorus, Harmonica Fade-in] You could never see me, but you taught me how to see Through dusty glass and honesty Now your shutter gave up on us, and we are both blind now Still I carry your silence somehow [Verse 2, Low Bluesy Picking] You never chased the light, you waited instead Let the stories find you, frame by thread Black skin, white sky, memories in gray Each click a heartbeat, taken away [Chorus, Harmonica Echo] You could never see me, but you taught me how to see Through dusty glass and honesty Now your shutter gave up on us, and we are both blind now Still I carry your silence somehow [Bridge, Harmonica Cry, Finger Slides] And I watched you fade like an old Polaroid Edges curling, soul overexposed But oh, that Rolleiflex held more than time It held a world you left behind [Final Chorus, Harmonica Whispers] You could never see me, but you taught me how to see With two glass eyes and dignity Now your shutter gave up on us, and we are both blind now But you still show me how, somehow [Outro, Harmonica, Fading Guitar] (Mmm-mm… still show me how…) (Still seein’ you… somehow…) (Harmonica fades into silence)
